About This Cause
The Humane Society of the Sierra Foothills (HSSF) works to protect animals from abuse and neglect. It provides a line of defense against animal cruelty at no cost to taxpayers. HSSF is funded solely by donations, grants and sales from a used book/thrift store. We are an independent nonprofit organization, we are not affiliated with any other entity, and we do not receive any government funding. HSSF's Humane Officers must complete required hours of training and courses at an accredited academy and must pass psychological testing and extensive background screening from the Department of Justice and the FBI before being certified by the Superior Court. Although most animal owners are appreciative and follow through with the recommendations, some may refuse to take necessary steps to either care for their animal(s) or alleviate the distress. In these cases, HSSF has the legal authority to take proper action to save the animal(s) from further suffering. Generally speaking, the humane officer's objective is to notify the owners and give ample time to correct the situation unless there are extenuating circumstances. When animal owners fail to take proper action to remedy the situation, or if there are repeat offenders, court orders and search warrants are obtained; animals are evaluated by veterinarians; professionals and/or specialists are hired to assist; and the neglected or abused animal(s) may be seized with concurrence of the attending veterinarian(s). We hope you take a minute to read some of our newsletters at our website www.AnimalPlace.com and become more familiar with our work.
